Caydel’s SEO Blog

I may be a day behind the rest of the blogosphere in reporting this, but Search Engine Journal’s 2006 Search Blog Awards are open for vote. The categories up for vote this year are:

• SEO Blog of the Year
• Search News Blog
• Best Search Marketing / Contextual Ad Blog
• Best Link Building Blog
• Best Search Agency Resource Blog
• Best Search Engine Blogger of 2006
• Best Social Media Optimization Blog
• Best Black Hat SEO Blogs
• Best Local Search Blog
• Best Affiliate Marketing Blog
• Best Web 2.0 Blog
• *BONUS* Best Search Engine Marketing Community / Forum
• *BONUS 2* What’s your favorite Search Podcast?

Rather than being a ‘pick the best’ type vote, voters are asked to rate each of the nominations on a scale of 1-5, except for the ‘Best Search Engine Blogger of 2006′ category, in which you are to pick only one. Of course, if you are not familiar with the nomination, you are asked to leave it blank.

There are a large number of good blogs and bloggers on the card for each category. The two most interesting categories to watch will be the ‘Best SEO Blog of 2006′ as well as the ‘Best Search Engine Blogger of 2006′. The Best Search Blogger had about 20 names on it that I read daily; I was hard-pressed to rate them against eachother since each of the nominations does an outstanding job.

Voting will be open until December 24th. Winners will be announced some time after the holiday season is over.

Rand Fishkin of SEOmoz posted his Firefox sidebar list, containing links to the 60-70 sites he visits on a daily or weekly basis. Although he doesn’t give away any trade secrets within his list, it makes for a great comprehensive who’s who in the Search/SEO worlds, and is sure to turn up at least a few valuable sites you’ve never read.

In order to make Rand’s list a little easier to place in your own browser, I have created an exported bookmarks file. Just save the bookmarks.html file below to your system, and import it into your browser.

P.S. I used my all-powerful-editor’s privilege to correct a glaring ommision under his ‘Blogs’ list.
P.P.S. You know you’ve hit it big in the blog world when you can post about reorganizing your bookmarks and still get tons of backlinks from it…
